Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 66 Fishing Law Enforcement
When Flanders and Liu Erlong were about to start digging out the nest, they were stopped by Yu Xiaogang.

"Erlong, Flanders, you guys start by disturbing the Qianjun Ants, but don't attack them rashly." Yu Xiaogang said to the two of them.

The two looked puzzled, and although they were a little confused, they still nodded.

With the two people's martial spirits possessing them, the powerful force released made the Qianjun ants in the cave realize that the colony had been invaded. All of a sudden, a large number of Qianjun ants came out of the cave, and when they were about to surround the "invaders", when the Qianjun ants discovered the existence of the little ants, they instantly crawled on the ground like the soldier ants who had just been guarding the gate.

This scene had the momentum of thousands of people coming to congratulate. Even if Liu Erlong and Flanders were slow to notice the direction in which the Qianjun Ants were worshipping, they understood what was going on.

Soon, a group of huge Thousand-Jun Ants slowly emerged from the cave. The leader was dark gold in color like the smaller ants. Yu Xiaogang was surprised when he saw that the leading queen ant had exceeded Shi Yi's absorption limit and reached the level of 20,000 years. What surprised Yu Xiaogang was that among the soldier ants guarding the queen ant, there was actually a 15,000-year-old soldier ant. Such a colony was considered extremely large among the Thousand-Jun Ants.

Seeing the appearance of those Thousand Jun Ants with impressive cultivation, Flanders and Liu Erlong also became defensive. Their strength could sometimes break through the suppression of blood. Even they had to take such a number seriously. An ordinary Soul Emperor would probably die in regret after seeing such a scene.

"Such a tribe can only be found in the Star Dou Great Forest." Yu Xiaogang sighed softly.

Under the surprised gazes of the four people, the group of Qianjun ants also slowly crawled on the ground. For a moment, Flanders and Liu Erlong looked at Shi Yi and Yu Xiaogang with strange expressions on their faces and said, "Should we take action or not? They look quite...friendly..."

Shi Yi was also a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Ever since Xiao Yi ate the Qi Luo tulip, Shi Yi never took Xiao Yi to devour its own kind again. In Shi Yi's opinion, once the grade of the martial soul has reached a certain level, it would be difficult to improve it further. Even if Xiao Yi could continue to devour the blood of its own kind, it would require a lot of accumulation. Shi Yi himself still needed to practice and didn't have so much time to take Xiao Yi to dig out the nest, so he gradually put the matter aside.

Suddenly, Shi Yi seemed to have thought of something, and said to the three people: "Teacher, Master's Wife, Dean, help me protect the law but don't take the initiative to attack them."

The three of them nodded slightly, then Shi Yi sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes. Without taking the little ant back, Shi Yi gradually seemed to have come to a strange world.

He felt a lot of emotions in this world, and the feeling was particularly clear. The Thousand Jun Ants around him seemed to be calling him, and he could even distinguish the emotions of each Thousand Jun Ant.

Frightened, uneasy, and respectful, as if the little ant was their king.

Shi Yi did not need to release too much mental power. Under his perception, each Qianjun ant released a faint mental fluctuation. Although each ant was not strong, the huge number of them connected together formed a very large mental magnetic field, which actively cooperated with Shi Yi's perception.

Through them, the range that Shi Yi could sense suddenly increased exponentially.

But in the end, the situation that Shi Yi imagined did not happen. Then, Shi Yi slowly came out of the state of concentrated perception and slowly opened his eyes.

"What's wrong? Xiaoyi, have you discovered anything new?" Yu Xiaogang asked softly when he saw Shi Yi slowly open his eyes.

Shi Yi shook his head slightly.

"It seems that the situation of the little ant is no different from the situation when Tang San returned to the Blue Silver Forest in the original novel. However, the cultivation of this Thousand-Tien Ant Queen is far inferior to that of the Blue Silver King. Although I can sense them, they seem unable to do anything." Shi Yi said secretly with some helplessness in his heart.

As if sensing Shi Yi's emotions, the little ant emanated an invisible spiritual fluctuation.

A golden glow suddenly and quietly emerged from the body of each of the powerful ants. Bits of golden light continued to light up and gradually gathered on the small ant.

This could not help but horrify Flanders and the other two. This was the first time they had seen such a scene after traveling all over the country for so many years.

As the golden spots of light gathered on the little ant, Shi Yi could feel a heat rising from the deepest part of his body. At this moment, Shi Yi did not feel the impact and pressure brought by the huge energy, nor did he feel the expansion in his body.

Shi Yi could only feel that along with the emergence of the heat flow, a wonderful change occurred in his body, but Shi Yi was not sure what this specific change was.

At this moment, Shi Yi's soul ring seemed to resonate with it, and appeared uncontrollably around Shi Yi.

Soon, Shi Yi heard Liu Erlong's exclamation, "Xiao Gang, look at Xiao Yi's spirit ring."

Shi Yi also subconsciously looked at the soul rings surrounding his body. At this moment, the colors of the soul rings actually underwent visible changes. The yellow color of Shi Yi's first soul ring continued to deepen. The second soul ring was originally very close to a thousand years old, and now it has turned purple. The purple color of the third soul ring is also constantly deepening.

Shi Yi couldn't help but show excitement on his face. Although the number of Thousand Jun Ants was far less than that of Blue Silver Grass, their average cultivation was definitely above that of Blue Silver Grass. However, it seemed that these Thousand Jun Ants could not allow him to condense his natal spirit ring like Tang San in the original novel. Instead, it was reflected in Shi Yi's body in the form of an increase in the age of the spirit ring.

"Although Xiao Yi's mutation can produce a physical entity, it also means that when Xiao Yi is summoned, Xiao Yi becomes an independent individual. I cannot awaken my own natal spirit ring like Tang San, because they recognize Xiao Yi instead of me. However, the strengthening of the spirit ring also shows that Xiao Yi is constantly transforming." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

As the golden spots of light continued to gather on the little ant's body, the little ant's body seemed to be gradually growing larger. Gradually, the little ant's exoskeleton exploded from the inside out and gradually fell down. Seeing this, everyone's faces were even more surprised. At this time, the little ant not only had a new exoskeleton but also had wings.

Soon the golden light spots gradually disappeared, and Shi Yi's soul rings turned purple, with the third soul ring showing a tendency to turn slightly black.

"It's so magical, I've never seen anything like it before." Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh.

"So should we kill him now or not?" Liu Erlong was a little confused.

Shi Yi shook his head slightly and said hesitantly: "I don't know either."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the soldier ant guarding the Thousand-year-old Queen Ant and felt a little sorry. This year was just right according to Shi Yi's own calculations. It was not easy to find a thousand-year-old Thousand-year-old ant, but if this powerful soldier ant was killed, the colony would obviously be in crisis as it would lose important combat effectiveness.

After hearing what was said, the little ant understood the reason for Shi Yi's hesitation, and went straight to the soldier ant that Yu Xiaogang was looking at, emitting a burst of mental fluctuations.

The next second, the soldier ant that Yu Xiaogang was targeting moved. Everyone saw it raise its head instantly, raise its upper jaw and two huge saber teeth, and attack the little ant, as if it wanted to tear the little ant into pieces and swallow it into its stomach.

The sudden change also made the other Thousand Jun Ants tremble. Attacking the king was tantamount to rebellion. Seeing the sudden change, Shi Yi hurriedly took back the little ant. Feeling the king's breath suddenly disappear, the group of Thousand Jun Ants slowly stood up.

Seeing the Qianjun ants slowly surrounding them, Shi Yi immediately summoned the small ants again, which made the entire colony quiet down again. However, the Qianjun ant that had just attacked still rushed towards the small ants.

"Fuck, what the hell did you say to it?" Shi Yi said to the little ant. "Erlong, Flanders, take action, don't hurt the other Qianjun ants." Yu Xiaogang, who had no reason to take action, also hurriedly called out to the two.

Then Shi Yi saw the little ant write the word "sacrifice" on the ground.

Shi Yi saw this and said helplessly: "You are honest. Even if you are the king, you asked someone to sacrifice the first time you met. You are a genius. I have become a trap enforcement officer."

After Flanders and Liu Erlong's attack, the most powerful soldier ant was soon left with only half its life left and crawling on the ground, as if it had accepted its fate.

"Xiao Yi, come here." Yu Xiaogang sighed softly. Everything he encountered today was beyond his understanding.

Shi Yi also came to the front of the Qianjun ant a little embarrassedly. Although the little ant was intelligent, it did not understand human relationships. By chance, it became a fishing enforcement, which made Shi Yi feel embarrassed to take action.

After thinking about it, Shi Yi took out the carving knife from his soul guide. Under Shi Yi's control, the carving knife turned into a dagger. Shi Yi killed the other party without any hesitation.

Looking at the slowly rising black soul ring, Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and confirmed again: "Are you sure you have the confidence?"

"Your theory may be wrong, but I'm not." Shi Yi quipped with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face turned dark and he said nothing more.

Then Shi Yi sat cross-legged and used Xiao Yi's breath to attract the soul ring. Soon, the black halo came above Xiao Yi's head. Without giving it any chance to react, the black halo suddenly shrank and turned into a bracelet-sized, extremely solid golden ring that fell directly on Xiao Yi's body.

A powerful soul power wave suddenly burst out, and a hot energy rushed into Shi Yi's body. In an instant, Shi Yi's internal organs were burning. His body couldn't help but tremble violently.

At this time, Shi Yi also hurriedly activated the Zhengqi Meridian to digest the influx of soul power through the rapid circulation of soul power.

"It's OK. With the current digestion speed of the Zhengqi Meridian, it can withstand it. But I didn't feel the soul shock of the ten thousand year level. It might be because of the little ant."

Thinking of this, Shi Yi controlled his soul power to circulate rapidly around his dantian. Gradually, the fiery heat turned into warmth, and a feeling of blood connection appeared in Shi Yi's heart.

Perhaps because of the little ant, the soul ring was absorbed too smoothly and too quickly this time, which made Shi Yi doubt whether he should find a Qianjun ant of an older age.

Seeing the four spirit rings surrounding Shi Yi, Yu Xiaogang was also deeply moved. The potential shown by Shi Yi now might not be much weaker than that of Tang San. It is true that Tang San will have one more martial soul, but in actual combat, Shi Yi has Xiao Yi as his helper, and might have more advantages.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the little ant. There was naturally no problem with its strength. The strength of the Qianjun ant was unquestionable among the same level. The reason why the Qianjun ant could develop to this day in this cruel soul beast forest without any soul skills was due to the strength of its exoskeleton. Most soul beasts would not choose the Qianjun ant as food. Even their natural enemies would not choose the Qianjun ant as food unless they had no other choice. The reason was that the exoskeleton of the Qianjun ant was difficult to break. In addition, the little ant had now evolved wings, a helper that combined attack, defense, and flight. If it were not for the flaw of not having soul skills, it could be said that the little ant did not have any major shortcomings.

"After absorbing the ten thousand year spirit ring, my level must have improved significantly." Yu Xiaogang asked softly.

Shi Yi nodded slightly and said: "Perhaps the age of other spirit rings has also increased. It is already level 43."

"What? Jump three levels at once?" Flanders asked in surprise.

"This is normal. After a soul master reaches level 40, most of the soul rings that are absorbed with the best soul ring configuration can only be upgraded by one level. Xiao Yi's fourth ring has greatly exceeded the limit. The increase brought by the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul rings is not comparable. In addition, the other soul rings have all made significant breakthroughs. Three levels may seem unreasonable, but in fact it is quite reasonable. With Xiao Yi's cultivation speed, he has saved at least nearly half a year of hard practice." Yu Xiaogang smiled, his face filled with unspeakable pride.

"However, Xiaoyi, it's better for you to use this spirit ring less. It's too eye-catching." Liu Erlong said slowly.

Yu Xiaogang nodded upon hearing this and said, "Your master's wife is right. I plan to make you a substitute in this competition, and I will also restrict the use of your martial spirit and spirit rings. Now that you have learned Xiao San's skills, your body has become a mature weapon."

Hearing this, Shi Yi felt the incomparable power in his body and nodded. With his strength and speed, except for some special control systems, there should be no opponent at the same level, and even the control system may not be able to catch him.

"Should we continue looking for the colony of Thousand-Jun Ants now?" Flanders said with a raised eyebrow.

"This Thousand-Thousand-Year-Old Queen Ant is over 20,000 years old. I think it will be a waste of time to find a colony larger than this one. Xiao Yi is still in the golden stage of cultivation, so there is no need to rush. When Xiao Yi ventures out into the continent on his own, there will be plenty of time. He can go find it himself then." Yu Xiaogang understood what Flanders meant and said softly.

Shi Yi also nodded. This was why he reduced the time that Xiao Yi appeared. Although he was no different from Xiao Yi and his relatives, Shi Yi understood that he was the one who would ultimately travel the continent. Only if he quickly improved his cultivation would he have the strength to deal with danger when he encountered it. Xiao Yi's strength was already very outstanding among people of the same level. Shi Yi had not heard of anyone who could obtain the best soul ring configuration entirely by his own ability.

It is very difficult for a soul master of the same level to defeat a small ant that is like a soul beast.

As long as Shi Yi's cultivation level improves fast enough, Xiao Yi will also have a corresponding improvement. Xiao Yi only needs to follow Shi Yi's steady improvement. There will be plenty of time to explore Xiao Yi's upper limit later. In order to enable his own cultivation level to cope with more crises, Shi Yi even stagnated his research on soul guides.

Shi Yi spent most of his time on the cultivation of his body, soul power, and mental power. These are the basics of a soul master. With these foundations, there will be more room for exploration in the future.

"Then let's retreat. It's a bit creepy looking at so many crowded things." Flanders said to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi and the others nodded. The moment Shi Yi retracted his martial soul, Flanders summoned his martial soul, instantly picked up Shi Yi and Yu Xiaogang, and flew away with Liu Erlong.

On the other side is the central lake of the Star Forest.

A huge bull head slowly emerged from the lake, raising huge splashes of water. Not far away sat a mountain-like figure.

"Erming, do you feel it?" the huge bull head spoke in human language.

The Titan Ape nodded slightly and said, "Group sacrifice, another large group has a king..."
